There's no compulsion to have a separate partition for /tmp. Simply remove that small partition from /etc/fstab. Those with more parted experience might simply remove partition 10 from the disk (and /etc/fstab), then resize 11 or 9 to include the space freed by 10. I'd more likely give it to 9 (your /var). Adding onto an end rather than a start feels safer to me. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
